Craigslist is already a treasure trove of great deals if you know how to look for them. Reddit user crybaby5 shares one more tip to getting a great deal: search for postings with the words "moving" in the description and low-ball the offer.

The idea is that when people are moving and trying to sell a few quality items in a hurry, they're more willing to dump those items cheap just to get them out of their house. Crybaby5 provides his example from a college town:

I live in a college town and most student leases end on august 1st. Many of these people recently graduated and are flying to a new state, some are transferring colleges. Either way they need to get rid of stuff fast and have a deadline. This means a lot of people are selling a lot of stuff in the same window of time, which will bring down the asking price. Leave low-ball numbers with the sellers and tell them to call you if they change their mind. Sure enough desperate sellers will call you the day of their move.

It's not just college towns of course. The end of the month is a time when someone out there is inevitably moving regardless of where you live. Your search will certainly come up with a few junk posts as well, but if you're not hunting for anything too particular, this seems like a great way to get a good deal. Just make sure you know how to keep yourself from getting screwed on your purchase.
